Hi guys, do you know, what is this cylinder? What was it used for? Is it military, is it German and WW2? Made of aluminum, has 3 letters mark - cme. It is 70 cm long /in inches, that must be a little less than 28/. What is it? Thanks!

Maybe for carring maps?

Yes, maybe? The sling is very much likely to the slings of the spare barrel containers for MG. But the MG containers are different - and this one is made of thin alu tin, looks quite fragile to be carrying iron stuff inside?
